Set filters, then generate
A crossover brings characters or settings from two separate stories into one. A fusion goes further and merges the two worlds into a single setting. This generator writes the collision: what each world is like, where the casts meet, what they fight over, and the last beat.
Stolen Continuity is the Heist, Sci-fi, Comedic prompt. A crew must steal an unaired season finale, and the file is named after a childhood dog that never existed. Heist, Sci-fi, and Comedic always returns that prompt. There are 36 prompts. The buttons can be combined in 336 ways, and 36 of those triples contain one prompt each.
Crack, Historical, and Romantic is one of the 300 empty triples. The note says so, then shows Letters in Two Inks, whose type is Alternate universe. The type on the draft is the type to write. No world names a franchise. World A and World B describe a kind of story, so you choose which two canons fill them.
Three steps from a type and a mood to two canons on the same page.
Pick among First meeting, Fusion, Alternate universe, Time loop, Mystery, Heist, Domestic, Crack; Sci-fi, Fantasy, Modern, Historical, Horror, Gaming, Meta; and Fluffy, Romantic, Angst, Comedic, Gen, Dark. Or leave a row on All. The note states the exact match, or names the wider pool when that triple is empty.
World A and World B describe a kind of story. In Stolen Continuity, World A is a hacker collective that works only in practical effects. Swap in the crew from your own canon that fits that description.
The kicker stays with the title. The craft tip is one of 8 shared lines. Drop it when it fights the story.
The worlds, the meeting, and the kicker stay with the prompt. The tip changes.
A name such as Stolen Continuity, then Heist, Sci-fi, and Comedic in words.
The situation, then the two kinds of story that collide. Neither world names a franchise.
Where the casts meet, what they fight over, and the final beat. These stay with the prompt.
One of 8 shared lines, printed on this page. It changes from run to run.

Every prompt can receive any line below. The generator adds one each time you click. The tabletop tip is advice. The draft does not write game statistics.
Crossover, fusion, AU, and the other fan terms the filters use.
A story that brings characters or settings from two separate works into one. Superman vs. the Amazing Spider-Man (1976), co-published by DC and Marvel, is an early example of a crossover between two comics publishers. All 36 prompts here are original pairs of story types, not licensed characters.
A fan term for placing one canon's characters inside another canon's world or plot, so there is one merged setting instead of two casts meeting. Two Crowns, One Hearth, Harbor in Two Weathers, Sanctuary, Population: Doubt, Nebula Prom, Raid Night, Date Night are the Fusion prompts.
Canon characters in a changed setting, such as a coffee shop or a different century. Shared Studio Sublet is the Modern, Fluffy AU prompt: a monster hunter and a barista on one lease.
A plot where the same stretch of time repeats until something changes. The film Groundhog Day (1993) made the shape famous. Loop at the Feast and Reboot, Remarry are two of the four Time loop prompts here.
Fic built on an absurd premise, often played completely straight. Vampire HOA, where a coven and a homeowners association merge over a zoning error, is one of the four Crack prompts.
Fic without a romantic or sexual relationship at its center. Gen is one of the categories on Archive of Our Own (AO3). Four prompts here use the Gen mood, including Dual Podcast, Single Body.
Meta fic knows it is a story. Characters may see the reader, the author, or the comments. The 3 Meta prompts are Comments Section Canon, Stolen Tropes, Kiss in the Gutter.
The last beat of the prompt. It should change what the relationship costs, not only land a joke. In Stolen Continuity, the kicker is that the dog in the password never existed.

The prompt is for you. The chapter needs the meeting and the stakes.
In Duel, Then Dinner, a knight demands a toll of truth and the dragon has exact change. Each side's rule is visible in one line. Your opening scene should show both rules before either character explains them.
In Letters in Two Inks, one letter can warn the privateer's captain or save the spy's fleet, never both. A crossover conflict works when neither world can solve it alone.
Harbor in Two Weathers fuses a hard-boiled detective story with a cozy bake-off mystery. Pick which tone owns the narration and which one shows up in dialogue, then hold that line for the whole chapter.
Crack, Historical, and Romantic has no prompt. The wider pool is Letters in Two Inks, whose type is Alternate universe. The type on the draft is the type you should write.
